About Maria Svennbeck

Even though I state my hometown is Stockholm I have lived, studied and worked the last 25 years all around the world; in the USA, Europe and Asia mostly. Trained as a fashion designer that was also my main occupation and I have been self employed for the last 20 years.

About 8 years ago I decided I didn't want to be part of the whole consumerism industry anymore and I retrained as a small scale organic farmer/gardener.I discovered permaculture and my life hasn't been the same since!
My current activities include teaching permaculture, urban food growing such as microgreens and bioponics. This year 2016-2017 I'm part of a team establishing a rooftop farm in Stockholm. I also run a business designing edible gardens: www.holisticgardening.se
